The world’s kinkiest cruise is now taking reservations

Erotic excursions, fantasy playrooms and plenty of adult entertainment on board this one

It’s called the Desire Cruise, and that pretty much tells you what to expect: eight nights of adult entertainment with “likeminded couples” on one sprawling sea liner.

Mexico-based Original Group’s ‘sensual cruise’ will sail from Venice, Italy, on 26 Sep 2017, berthing at Croatia and Slovenia before looping back to the canal city.

The ‘Desire Experience’ consists of guests in the buff, erotic excursions, themed dress-up parties and ‘intense icebreakers’, besides tantric yoga, talks by sexologists and more. (One of the games on board is finding out which couple manages the most sexual positions in a minute.)

The cruise will have ‘mix-n-mingle’ private playrooms—open at all times—for all kinds of action. And there’s a clothing-optional communal spa deck, with a “ bubbling saltwater bath and powerful jets”.

Of course, there are rules. Staff members are off-limits, photography is banned, you can’t strip in restaurants, and most importantly, a ‘no’ means ‘no’.

The organisers claim that the response has been so good that they have already announced a sequel. Desire 2.0 will depart from Barcelona in 2018, touring Sete and Marseilles in France, Monte Carlo in Monaco, and Portofino and Florence in Italy, before finally arriving in Rome.
